B4J Question [ABMaterial] Weird things happened in VPS Hosting

[Dianzoa]

Regards!
I have a little testing of a web app that runs ok in my computer, but I uploaded to a VPS hosting, and runs partially ok, for example the icons does not appear. The tables cannot be "selected ", and such. I have upload the jar and the www and bin folders from Object folder after compiled in release mode.
I attached some screens
PS:Compare cargar_vps VS cargar_localhost, the icons and the combo, as well as the table interactive are gone in the VPS. Am I missing something? BTW. The login page works local and VPS

Thanks!
Diego

Possible cause: Looks like the file copymewithjar.needs is missing. Put it in the same folder as the jar.

I may assume you have uploaded the .jar, the .needs and the complete www folder to your vps?

Then you start the .jar file.

@rwblinn beaten by 2 seconds max

Wow,Thanks guys! I didn't know about .needs.
I will upload that file now and test it!

Best Regards!

Update: The icons and the table selection row it's now working, but I still have problems with combos, in localhost works like a charm.

The combo will not appear, and also the server stop working, none of the links works after loading the combos.
See combo-vps VS combo-localhost. I think the cliente combo is what it fails because if I comment that the other combo works well

Let's beat this dead horse some more - cause it ain't quite dead yet....

Is there anyway to package this in the distributed jar - or some other way to remind us all that bad things will happen if you ( meaning me ) forget to update it on your server (and must post here to resolve)? How many times have we all been down this road?

Just a feature request... like you don't have enough to deal with...

Using SLC (talking about B4A Library) you can place additional files in the Additional Folder.

If you are using SLC to build the library then you should put the macros in the "additional" folder.

It should work with the file mentioned here; or at least it is worth a try.

Don't think this applies... However...

I do think it applies. Custom Class Templates.

Note that it will also be added to B4J and B4i.

So there is hope yet....

Can't it be added to the Files folder during compilation?


Custom class templates feature is available in B4J. I'm not sure whether it can help here.

The .needs files are generated when you run the jar AND the B4J source code is available (the source code is parsed at that point). When you deploy, the source code isn't available anymore so it uses the analyze result in the .needs file. It's kind of the chicken and the egg thing. So easiest is just to keep it as it is and just copy the file.

Might be possible to automate it with a #CustomBuildAction or with a batch file that uses the command line builder.
